I have the same safe. The key lock is not an override for the combo.
Interesting - what function does the key serve?

Who's the guy that recommended that the OP whack the safe with his salami? That just wouldn't be right.
True. The art of manipulation is lost to all but a few (despite the excellent Matt Blaze paper on the subject), and it's more common to drill the box and repair it - neither of which makes a lot of sense on a low end lockbox
If you want a real safe person ask if they are SAVTA (Safe And Vault Technicians Association) members.'
Even the folks at Eastern Security are not real "safe men". They sell boxes and understand the basics, but I don't think there is a single one of them who understands manipulation beyond using their autodialer for exhaustive enumeration on a mechanical lock. (too bad they didn't get the Mas-Hamilton autodialer that does actual manipulation and can often open a Group II in about 15 minues).
Hanwei could probably pick the lock with his salami.
